Last Lake Day For Now

We are home again in Omaha for a few days to catch up on mail and see what's going on down on the prairie.  We had a great last day at the lake.  Bright sun overhead and the lake with a glass-like surface.  My sweet husband carried the kayaks down to the dock and we set off for a paddle.  The neighbors were watching eagles fish in the lake and rumor had it that you could see their nest from a swampy area across the way.  We found the nest but no activity to report yet.  It's way up in the top of a dead tree and  we will have to wait for babies to start peaking over the top to see anything.

We meandered around the edge of the lake for a while, playing tag with a loon.  We guessed that we might have gotten too close to her nest and she was leading us away.  June is the time of babies on the lake and you have to be respectful. 

Right before the sun went down, my hubby popped into the cabin and asked, "do you want to see something neat?" We made one last trip down to the bank where he had made the following discovery.   We only stayed for a quick peak.

It's a nice image to carry home.
